Its commonly used name is the Tamolana pygmy grasshopper. Like other pygmy grasshoppers it belongs to the family Tetrigidae which are characterized by a long pronotum that extends over the abdomen and gives them a compact armored appearance. The species is small and usually well camouflaged among soil leaf litter and low vegetation which helps it avoid predators. Individuals typically show earthy colors such as brown or gray which blend well with their surroundings and support their survival in natural ground habitats.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe distribution of Tamolanica tamolana is limited to parts of Southeast Asia where it has been recorded in tropical environments with moist soils and dense ground cover. It tends to inhabit forest edges open woodland and grassy areas where there is plenty of debris and vegetation for shelter. Because pygmy grasshoppers are often overlooked due to their small size and camouflage detailed records of their range are relatively scarce but they are generally associated with warm humid regions that support diverse insect communities.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of the conservation of the rainforest where they fly and the development of responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
